*          "A government that governs least governs best." .attributed to Thomas Jefferson (see Jefferson Quotes page on Prodigy) (The first link.)
        Our government no longer governs best (if it ever did). It has chosen not to for decades.

        The "New Deal" could be the point of the irreversible decline (although there are cogent arguments for un-American actions before or since). In spite of great deeds, technological advancements, and a public education system, we have lost much of the "stuff" that made our country great. A few short-term revivals, although necessary, will not prevent us from being part of the scrap heap of history.

        And that is too bad...I am unaware of any nation in history who has taxed its citizens to benefit a defeated aggressor such as the United States did after World War II.

*          We have crime, not because of a lack of laws, but because of a lack of punishment. Criminals rarely suffer as much as their victims.
        Our Constitutional protection against "cruel and unusual" punishment has been perverted to mean that cruel and unusual criminals can not be punished because of this clause. I submit that God Almighty can not invent a punishment for these abominable criminals who perpetrate heinous crimes and without pity that is too cruel or unusual. All He can do is cast them into the lake of fire to rot and burn forever-the same fate as the decent, but unredeemed, dead.

*     See On Pacifism for the truth of this matter.

*     It is not only morally wrong; it is a heinous crime against humanity for the poor or those who can not have wholesome and healthy offspring to breed, and that no government can make a good law enforcing protection from this crime done without pity.
